Bob B 8/10/17 - Should I start with the kit setup?
The kit setup is a great place to start. One other option that many of us start with is Joe's rough track setup. You can find that setup here
In order to run it you need 3x2.1 pistons and 3x2.0 pistons. (They are marked on the sheet as 3.1 and 3.0).

Matt W 7/7/17 - What is overdrive and when should I use it?
The NB48.4 comes stock with a 12t pinion (TKR8152) and the 39t ring (TKR8151) in both the front and rear and the EB48.4 has a 12t pinion (TKR8152B) and the 40t ring (TKR8151B) in both the front and rear.

The two sets of gears are used to overdrive the front of the EBs or underdrive the rear of the NBs. If you have both vehicles and want to try underdrive it's as easy as swapping the front diff and pinion of the EB and the rear diff and pinion of the NB. Underdrive helps on very loose tracks, when you need more on power steering or if the rear of the car feels loose.

Tips and Tricks
Setup Sheets:
Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.

Warranty Policy:

Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered!

Piston Drills:

Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
GMK Supply Piston Drill Set
16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

Yes, I'm betting either 16t or 17t myself...I'm going to have both on hand.

I tested the 15t(had one lying around) and there was not much difference from 1/4 throttle to full. Im going to try 16/17t next. Can't wait for the warm weather!

I would check your radio settings, because no matter what pinion you are running there should be a significant change in wheel speed from 1/4 to full throttle.

You can always build one part by part or convert a .3, but it is more expensive than a kit!

My son said he can drive the tekno mire relaxed compared to the mugen. Said he had to push the mugen harder to go fast. Build was easier. My hobbywing esc/motor runs cooler in this buggy. Different gear ratio in sure. Lands like a cat. Only negative about the tekno compared to the mugen, mugen you can run 2 2s packs.

No painted body yet, but will have it in a few days

My statement did not come out correctly. What i was trying to say is that in comparison to my .3 running an 18t pinion(noticeable throttle range/top end) my .4 testing the 15t pinion did not have that range(i understand less teeth/less top end) i guess the difference was drastic to me and thats why i said i didn't see significant change. I guess with the smaller pinion i would have to tweak my throttle settings.
